A recent study from the Conference Board of New York shows that in a survey of 5000 households, 55% of people are not happy in their jobs.
This means that more than half of US workers are unsatisfied,
more than half feel they are underpaid, overworked, not used to the best of their abilities and/or hate their boss.
Dilbert is alive and well and living in your office.
What it really tells me
is that many people feel trapped,
not empowered
that many people took "a job"
but have not found their passion
that letting life happen to you
rather than making it happen
is generally not the path to happiness.
And that it comes down again to personal responsibility
I need to do what it takes
to have a fulfilling life.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
